About this study

In polytrraumatized patients, Does hyperglycaemia on admission increase the risk of morbidity and mortality compared to polytraumatised patients with normal blood glucose level ?

Read the detailed description

Trauma is still the leading cause of death in young adults and a major cause of morbidity and mortality at all ages.(1,2). Polytrauma is defined as injury to several physical regions or organ systems, where at least one injury or the combination of several injuries are life threatening with the severity of injury being equal or >16 on the scale of the Injury Severity Score (ISS). Prediction of mortality in trauma patients is an important part of trauma care (3). The trauma and injury severity score (TRISS) and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation IV (APACHE IV) are used commonly to predict injury severity and risk of mortality. Although it is regarded as the international standard in trauma scoring, it has complex calculating and incorporates the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) for neurological evaluation (4). Regardless of the accuracy of trauma scores, is based on an anatomical description of every injury and cannot be assigned to the patients until a full diagnostic procedure has been performed(5) . Many studies have revealed alteration in glucose metabolism in trauma and proportional relation of its high level to the degree of injury (6). hyperglycaemia is associated with similar complications as uncontrolled diabetes, including an increased mortality, an increased number of infectious complications, and poor wound healing. The presence of elevated blood glucose also impedes normal host defences against infection and impairs the normal inflammatory response (7.8).

  • Therefore, this study will be conducted to compare between alterations in easy and rapid predictors as glucose level, base deficit and lactate and difficult and slow predictors as TRISS and APACHE IV. So, it could be considered an early and easy rapid predictor of outcome .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Blood Glucose, High, run by Assiut University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact tamer armanious, MD (+201203523938, tamerrefaat2244@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Admission blood glucose as a predictor of morbidity and mortality in polytraumatized patients (time frame: baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04100369, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Sep 2019.
